yesterday went down to honly to grab some shuttlecocks and also asked if the tantrum 200 is still available but to my great disappointment though the distributor still had stock honly will not be taking in any... anyone can advise me where i can get one in SG? or any new series that is similar?

Ok I read both and they say head heavy IN THEORY. I got the one in front of me and it is written 'head heavy' on it, and those who tried it here say it is.
For the stiffness it is a bit ambiguous. How flexi do u want it? But: Please try one for yourself.

i'm not sure if mine is on spec but IN THEORY..it IS head heavy since it's the clone of AT900P
however, swinging mine around feels even balanced and light (of course! it's a 4U)
flex wise, i feel it's medium (as in more flexible than mid-stiff and stiffer than mid-flex) compared to my stiff Victor Artery Tec Ti99 which stiffness rating is on par with BS10 and slightly flexier than SW35.

I realized one unusual thing. I had 1 Apac 9900 at 24 pounds and another strung at 26 pounds. Guess what... the one with 26 pounds feels lighter on hand easily! Even a beginner who held them could immed tell so.

Can a higher tension really decreases the weight so much or is there some QC issues with the rackets?

There are a few factors to this. The unstrung masses of the racquets are different, therefore it is an Apacs QC problem. The string weight could cause the problem, a higher tension would stretch the string more and so it would be thinner, so overall it would have less mass and weigh less than the the lower tension string and this could cause a slight weight difference.
Could be the grips on the racquets, if you have any. Or when they say Apacs 9900 (86-89g) for example, you might have one that is 86g and one that is 89g.
Have you weighed them yet?
